ANCO launches a new nutritional concept

Animal Nutrition Competence GmbH (ANCO) has developed a new feed additive to support gut agility in livestock.

In the face of increasing consumer pressure for antibiotic-free animal diets, supporting gut agility by nutritional means contributes to more robust animals as well as safer and more profitable animal protein production.

Andreas Kern, Executive Director of ANCO commented: "We look forward to making a contribution to what matters most to feed manufacturers and producers to remain profitable in the production of safe feed and food." Andreas founded ANCO in November 2015, after 30 years with Biomin, acting as their CEO globally in his last 5 years.

Gut agility is a new approach

Applying agile concepts can help to further develop efficiency in animal production. Gwendolyn Jones, Head of Product Management explains the new concept*: "Gut agility is a new approach in animal nutrition, which describes the animal's ability to adapt to nutritional stressors in a faster and more energy-efficient response than it would normally. It is also a cost-effective solution to empower animals to cope with mycotoxins in feed more adequately."

Anco Animal Nutrition Competence GmbH is a feed additive company based in Austria. ANCO aims to design cost-effective feed solutions for swine, poultry and ruminants to live up to their performance potential efficiently. The company maintains its focus on what matters most to the customer and what works best for animals to support competitive animal production.
